It matches the OEM part number A3011 and fits the original battery bay without modification. Capacity is 3500mAh (13.48Wh), sourced from the product specification — not an estimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eiPhone 15 Pro model variants:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The A3101, A2848, and A3102 share the same battery bay geometry, voltage rail, and BMS connector pinout. One cell fits all three regional builds because Apple uses a single battery specification across the 15 Pro lineup regardless of market.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through a full charge-discharge cycle on iPhone 15 Pro hardware. The BMS accepted the cell, charge IC handed off correctly to trickle at 4.35V, and no thermal events or cutoff trips were logged during the test.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle fast charge protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging for one complete discharge-charge cycle. This lets the fuel gauge IC recalibrate against the new cell's discharge curve before USB-PD pushes high current into an uncalibrated cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the iPhone 15 Pro reports wrong battery percentage after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe iPhone 15 Pro uses a coulomb counter that builds its state-of-charge model against the original cell's discharge curve over hundreds of cycles. When a new cell goes in, that learned model no longer matches the actual cell chemistry, so the percentage reading drifts. The fix is one full uninterrupted discharge to automatic shutdown followed by a full charge to 100% with fast charging off. After that single cycle, the fuel gauge IC re-anchors its model to the new cell and percentage accuracy stabilises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens because the fuel gauge IC is still calibrated to an old, degraded cell that had a steep voltage cliff near depletion. The new cell hits a point where reported percentage and actual cell voltage diverge — the phone reads 25% but the open-circuit voltage has already dropped below the modem's minimum load threshold. The BMS trips a protection cutoff rather than letting the SoC brown out. Run one full discharge to 0% shutdown and charge back to 100% without interruption — after that cycle, the reported cutoff point should align with the actual cell floor near 3.0V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43391790743642,"sku":"BWCS-IPH284SL-1","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43391790776410,"sku":"BWCS-IPH284SL-2","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43391790809178,"sku":"BWCS-IPH284SL-3","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-IPH284SL_1.webp?v=1779142035","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/apple-a3101-replacement-battery-385v-3500mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
